A third print brown box on eBay:


** expired/removed eBay auction **


Books are laminated, but still a decent looking copy.

Yes, that's what it appears to be.  There were only 75 of those printed, for research purposes only.

So, this seller is going to sell this lot to a private buyer for $1000.00 if the listing does not go over $1000.00 within the next 24 hours (he says this in the listing).  I suspect this would sell for well over that if it were to run all the way to the end.

Thoughts?   :?

Frustrating to see someone trying to conduct a $1000+ sale with zero seller feedback and wacky terms which almost certainly violate the eBay user agreement.

EDIT: I looked this up and he is not violating the terms if he cancels with more than 12 hours remaining.

Any guess as to whether or not this is someone using an alt account for these shenanigans or is this really their first time on eBay?

Seller claims all items are in mint condition. I guess that large crease on the back of the R4 is a mint condition crease then?


Shrink is not a condition

To each their own, but zero feedback.. in 2020... listing say $1000+ in books... and threatening to pull the auction if isn't bid up by day 3.  Buyer beware


I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Something truly interesting - I don't think I've ever seen this before, outside of maybe tiny catalog pictures.

They come up often enough.  It's not really within the D&D collecting realm, as it's contemporary miniatures / warfare rules.

TSR published a few wargames / miniature rules like this over the years:

Airpower (WWII Plane to Plane Miniature Rules)
Battlesystem (Tabletop Miniature Wargame Supplements)
Bio One (Man to Man Hit Location)
Boot Hill (Man-to-Man Wild West Rules)
Cavaliers & Roundheads (English Civil War Miniature Rules)
Chainmail (Medieval Miniature Wargame Rules)
Classic Warfare (Ancient Warfare)
Cordite & Steel (Naval Miniatures)
Don't Give up the Ship (Sailing Ship Miniature Rules)
Field Regulations (18th Century Land Warfare Rules)
Fight in the Skies / Dawn Patrol (WWI Style Air Combat)
Legions of the Petal Throne (Combat Rules for Large-Scale Wargaming)
Modern Armor (Contemporary Era Miniature Rules)
Panzer Warfare (WWII Mass Armor Battle Rules)
Swords & Spells (Large Scale Miniatures Battles Rules)
Tractics (WWII Miniature Rules Box Set)
Tricolor (Napoleonic War Miniature Rules)
Valley Forge (American Revolution Miniature Rules)
Warriors of Mars (Barsoom Miniature Warfare Rules)

This isn't necessarily a comprehensive list, and there were other products that were sold through partners etc.

Here's a more detailed thread on the topic:

TSR wargames/boardgames

I inquired.
Story checks out ok.

. . . . .

"Wow this is unreal and let me say it is a true honor sir.

Unfortunately the items that I am selling and continue to do so are not my own. My uncle who was the owner of all of these items was a collector and player of D&D from the mid 1970s up until the late 2000s. Steven “Big Steve” Wallner. He told me he was a very young man when he met you at gen con in 1982-3 when he got these books. However he unfortunately passed away a few years ago and my aunt no longer wants the items so I am helping her sell them to honor his memory.

He also taught me how to play D&D as a young child and I even played these very adventures as a young boy when he would talk about you, Gary, Dave and Brian like heroes or legends, of the stories you all wrote. This is something that brought me very close to him and I will remember for the rest of my life.

Thank you so much sir for all you have done for me and many others and I hope to stay in contact."


My friends Dave & Gary made a quantum leap in entertainment. Remember them.

Hey thanks - the list in the link is pretty informative. I have only about a tenth of the games on it, even though I collect as many wargames as RPGs.
